<p>I’ve been thinking a lot about innovation this month. I wrote about how wind construction companies are innovating to lower costs <a adhocenable="false" href="http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/articles/print/volume-20/issue-3/features/cover-story/building-it-better-how-wind-epcs-are-driving-down-wind-energy-cost.html">in our cover story</a> and talked about that in my video above.</p>
<p>But I’m also thinking about BIG innovation — the world-changing kind. In April, I attended the Powering Progress Together (PPT) forum, hosted by Shell and the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI). Visionaries from both organizations presented their views of the future of energy.</p>
<p>Cho Khong, Chief Political Analyst for Shell, described two views of the future: one shows gas as the primary energy source with wind and solar also supplying large shares of energy while another shows solar power is the primary energy source by the 2030s.</p>
<p>Amory Lovins, Chief Scientist with RMI sees only an all-renewable future, dominated by distributed solar and wind.</p>
<p>Each visionary began his presentation with photos taken in the early 1900s. In only 13 years, the Easter Parade in New York City went from one filled with horses and buggies to one in which there were no horses of any kind. That means that those buggy manufacturers had only a short time to abandon their business as usual scenarios, retool and become automakers. If they waited too long, they were beat but if they jumped in too early, the market may not have been ready for them.</p>
<p>As Lovins stated,&nbsp;<i>the pioneers have the arrows in their backs, the settlers get the land</i>. It may be time for major fossil fuel companies to start ensuring their companies are ready for a future with wind and solar as a primary energy source and EVs dominating the transportation sector. If they are not already doing that, it may be too late.</p>

<p>The theory of the tragedy of the commons holds that those driven solely by self-interest will act to the detriment of the common good. One simple illustration is the depletion of fisheries by unregulated overfishing. Our industrial history also demonstrates the principle. Capitalism’s quest for maximized profit made industry race to the bottom, seeking places that allowed production at its lowest immediate cost. Now, those economies that prospered from that race are recovering from its impacts. The opportunity in the commons is global recognition of the competitive advantage in efficiency.&nbsp;</p>Opinion & CommentaryHydropowerBaseloadNewsStorageBioenergyWind PowerSolarGeothermalWed, 07 Jun 2017 14:15:00 GMThttp://www.renewableenergyworld.com/articles/2017/06/the-opportunity-of-the-commons.html2017-06-07T14:15:00Zhttp://www.renewableenergyworld.com/articles/2017/06/the-opportunity-of-the-commons.htmlhttp://www.renewableenergyworld.com/content/rew/en/articles/2017/06/the-opportunity-of-the-commons/_jcr_content/leftcolumn/article/headerimage.img.jpgEurope Is About to Go into Overdrive with Offshore Wind Powerhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WindPowerrssFeed/~3/YDktdVsGfj0/europe-is-about-to-go-into-overdrive-with-offshore-wind-power.html

Several projects have been built across the country combining storage with wind or solar projects.

<p>According to Amory Lovins a consultant to Shell Oil for the past 45 years and Chief Scientist and Co-founder of the Rocky Mountain Institute, little attention is being paid to the work that traditional energy companies are doing in the renewable energy industry.</p>
<p>“I think a lot of groups promoting efficiency and renewables are so busy working with innovation and insurgency in the business world that they don’t pay enough attention to the incumbents,” he said during an interview at Shell’s Powering Progress Together forum in Detroit, Michigan at the end of April.&nbsp;</p>
<p>“It's like a yin-yang balance,” he said, jokingly adding that if you aren’t part of the problem, how can you be part of the solution?</p>
<p>However, fossil fuel companies are well-equipped with the skills and expertise to transition into new business lines, he said.</p>

<p>President Donald Trump is moving aggressively to undo policies designed to keep the carbon-cutting promises the U.S. made alongside nearly 200 other countries in Paris, while stopping short of a decision to formally withdraw from that landmark climate accord.</p>

<p>Big oil is starting to challenge the biggest utilities in the race to erect wind turbines at sea.</p>
<p>Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Statoil ASA and&nbsp; Eni SpA&nbsp;are moving into multi-billion-dollar offshore wind farms in the North Sea and beyond. They’re starting to score victories against leading power suppliers including Dong Energy A/S and Vattenfall AB in competitive auctions for power purchase contracts, which have developed a specialty in&nbsp;anchoring massive turbines on the seabed.</p>
<p>The oil companies have many reasons to move into the industry. They’ve spent decades building oil projects offshore, and that business is winding down in some areas where older fields have drained. Returns from wind farms are predictable and underpinned by government-regulated electricity prices. And fossil fuel executives want to get a piece of the clean-energy business as forecasts emerge that renewables will eat into their market.</p>Wind PowerSolarNewsThu, 23 Mar 2017 11:58:00 GMThttp://www.renewableenergyworld.com/articles/2017/03/oil-majors-take-a-plunge-in-offshore-wind.html2017-03-23T11:58:00Zhttp://www.renewableenergyworld.com/articles/2017/03/oil-majors-take-a-plunge-in-offshore-wind.htmlhttp://www.renewableenergyworld.com/content/rew/en/articles/2017/03/oil-majors-take-a-plunge-in-offshore-wind/_jcr_content/leftcolumn/article/headerimage.img.jpgFORESEA awards US$11.8 million to develop offshore renewable energy technologieshttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WindPowerrssFeed/~3/IEk8lhCugzA/foresea-awards-us-11-8-million-to-develop-offshore-renewable-energy-technologies.html
